I read some books and saw the late night advertisements about real estate investing, so I was very interested in this type of property.

One area I recognize I’m lacking in is networking.

There will be a lot of agents advertising their market, and while this can be annoying, it can also be helpful when searching for areas to look in. 

Your reporting on your federal return shows whatever recognized gain is recognized. 

I recommend setting up keyword alerts for each area as they are discussed in the forums daily with advertisements posted in the BiggerPockets marketplace hourly.One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or lose money in any market.

I've seen some of those advertised also. 

We have cable or YouTube TV.Can't be cheap on this.We even advertise if someone else isn't offering cable channels what else are they cutting corners on?

I really thought it was a catch, and advertising hoax.  

OR, if you’re lucky enough to find a property in the new allowed student zone, make sure the zoning letter lists all advertised bedrooms.Johnson City doesn’t seem to have the same requirement.

Which is a lesson learned for me because I need to plan things out and recognize issues faster.
